In Buddhism, "tendrel" (Tibetan: རྟེན་འབྲེལ་) refers to the concept of interdependence or interconnectedness. It is closely related to the Buddhist principle of dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda), which teaches that all phenomena arise in dependence upon causes and conditions.
The term "tendrel" is commonly used in Tibetan Buddhism, where it signifies the intricate web of connections between all phenomena. It emphasizes the idea that everything in the universe is interconnected and interdependent, without inherent existence or independent self-nature.
